Radisson Hotel Group is set to expand its footprint in India, targeting 160 operational hotels and 19,500 keys by December 2026. Currently, the group operates 142 hotels and has 84 more in development, indicating a robust growth trajectory. Nikhil Sharma, Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer for South Asia, stated that the company is on track to achieve its goal of 500 hotels by 2030. Despite challenges from the ongoing West Asia crisis, which has impacted some metro cities with a 27-28% decline in Revenue Per Available Room (RevPAR), demand in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities remains resilient. The hospitality sector continues to rely on domestic travel, which is providing a buffer against international disruptions. April trends will be closely monitored to gauge recovery in key urban markets.
